EmotionallyUnstable

It all started with a phantom call well after the TD on the lions opening drive that took points off the board. I know how this movie ends

Tired of the chiefs

Unless you’re the Jets.

So no practice squad elevations this week, despite all the injuries to the interior DL? So it’s just Oliver Jones and Walker at DT? Unless they’re planning to sign someone to the 53, this seems wild. The PS elevation window closed, I believe.

Curious to see if Glen can get the defense right because that’s the only way they win this IMO. I can’t see a shootout here

I love that our Bills have and continue to become an NfL powerhouse and Primetime must-watch. However, as a kid who grew up on Sunday’s at 1, it is exhausting. Between work, the kids and the rest of life, I find myself wishing they’d play more day games. I guess be careful what we wish for. That said, couldn’t we just get a Primetime game backed up to a day off. Many ppl off of work Monday…couldn’t we have caught a break and had the Sunday night game??

We are so thin in the secondary, especially considering the dialogue around the roster depth during TC.

Good point on O gun taking sanders spot and just having an elevation for this weekend (Mathis or Phillips). Hoecht coming back would mean 6 DEs but I suppose with only 4 DTs and 1 fewer S they could make it work. Boy are they thin in the secondary.

Milano’s injury brings up an interesting position battle: who starts at Will? Previously, Dorian Williams got the nod when Milano went down earlier this year. Then last week, mid-game, Shaq Thompson came in with Williams inactive due to injury. Do yall think it’ll be Bernard/Williams again? I thought Shaq was then better of the options at the position but wonder if their plan to play any 4-3 factors into who they want when we are in base. Right, probably could have gained a whole 12 yards 😭

Thanks. i think it could matter depending on the length of recovery. If they can retroactively save a week, and the scope/clean up/repair or whatever is 4-6 weeks, factoring in the 3 week window to return and the bye week, who knows. that said, I tend to think McDermott and staff never rush anyone back so it’s likely they’ll just take their time on this to be sure they are good to go for the back end of the year. Factor in a healthy Ed and the return of O gun, it’s going to mean they don’t have to maneuver the roster at all for a bit. With those moves to IR, we have two open spaces. I am guessing Logue gets the call to the 53 since he is out of call ups. It’d make sense that whoever takes the Hamlin spot is able to play special teams, so I’m not so sure Poyer is the move here

Does anyone know if the Sanders IR move can be retroactive to before last week’s missed game? I know they can retroactively place a player on Ir but there is a deadline to do so. I believe it is before the next game played, so likely passed already. Can anyone confirm?

Stared him down the whole way. Why run Dart up 10 on first down? They just got him back after taking a tough hit. What are you doing Dabol?

I haven’t heard Abdul Carter’s name once. Is he playing? I know he’s buried behind Tibs and Burns but you’d think a guy of his prowess would be more visible on a D that seems to be all over up front

Giants have been mistake free, for the most part. Dart has been very efficient, used his legs a bit, had some good running support and a few WRs making plays. Nothing spectacular. Eagles D is hurting and their O seems to have trouble with the pass rush

Thought the same about both points. Their D is solid

Just had a mean bowl of cereal

Here comes Russ to blow the 10 pt lead.

He was better at Oklahoma anyways!

Wishing despair and defeat to the Eagles, only so ppl will keep talking about their falters and not others who we may hold more dearly in our hearts

I don’t think the injury report is all that terrible. A lot of these guys are dinged, and have an extra day rest and then just one week until the bye. I’d say we’re all pretty much trending in the right direction, especially with reinforcements on the way.

It appears there is a sand-like base below the sod. I am not sure what I was expecting but it wasn’t that.

Sure I agree they certainly could. I have a very strong feeling that McBeane disagree.

I genuinely am not sure where a trade for a WR makes sense for the Bills. Unless you’re shipping out Coleman, or unloading Samuel, I don’t see a way they’re going to acquire a player who will take on meaningful snaps. Will they surplant Palmer, a recent FA we paid good money to? Is Coleman riding the pine? Decrease Shakir’s already average snap numbers? I don’t see it making much sense

I think this is a great discussion point. Its obvious Brady likes maneuvering personnel to try and exploit matchups. For all the ho-humming in this thread there probably isn’t enough credit given to them in how they’ve found combinations that take advantage of a defense. That said, I tend to agree with most here and think they’ve taken this chess game to the extreme and have started to out-smart themselves. When you have JA17, an explosive runner like cook, and some decent pass catch options, too often are we getting cute with rotating personnel trying to play “gotchya” It almost gives off the impression that we’re reliant on being multiple to have success, as opposed to having success because we evolve from play to play. I’d like to see them continue with the varying personnel usage, but also try and limit it to a degree. Feel free to run your 13 personnel on for a play or two, bring in Gilliam for a snap or even go 5 wide with Ty Johnson. As long as we can find some success out of our “base” personnel (Cook, Kincaid, Shakir, Coleman, Palmer) with more regularity, they can sprinkle in the creative looks here and there. Enough of the Dawson Knox jet sweets like we’re KC running 2pt plays in the preseason.

I’d also add that the general fans understanding of an audible is that it’s the Wild West. When a play is called and they offense is presented with a certain look, they are generally audibling to a predetermined play. It is rather unlikely Allen is out there just calling his own plays. Sure there is times where he will pick a match up or choose to throw a bubble instead of hand it off but he is not simply winging it out there. Plenty of time throughout the week is dedicated to what to do when given a certain look. Hard to know if the struggles are execution related or schematic. It’s possible guys aren’t winning match ups. It’s also possible the audible or play calls they’re getting into aren’t putting them in positions to win.
